Hayley's POV
My weekend turned out infinitely better than I originally thought. I spent all of Sunday with Alex, watching movies, eating chinese noodles, dancing and singing (badly) along to crappy pop music and just generally having a good time. I'm so glad that we're back together; I've never been this happy before. And it's all thanks to an attractive brown haired punk rock loving dork who loves disney movies. To make the day even better, he even came with me to band practice.
"I want to be a supportive boyfriend" was his reasoning behind it.
"Uh huh, sure. I bet you're only coming along to steal ideas for your own band" I joked, poking his side playfully.
"What? How could you accuse me of such a terrible thing?" He gasped in fake shock, dramatically falling onto the sofa, clutching his heart. Of course, I just laughed and pulled him back up.
"Come on you dork, we're gonna be late!" I giggled, practically dragging him out through his front door and into his car. I wasn't even aware that he had one until now.

The drive to Jeremy's house felt super short. I'm certain that it's because Alex is the most atrocious driver I've ever seen in my life. This explains why no one ever gets a lift with him; it's literally a health hazard!
"See? I told you we'd get here in under 10 minutes!" He beamed proudly, as if the driving he'd just done was actually safe and legal, and as if the parking he had just done in Jeremy's driveway was remotely good. I'm not going to sugar coat it - it really wasn't good or legal at all.
"Yeah, because you were at least 20 mph over the speed limit and almost ran over a bunch of kids!" My shaking hands were still clinging to the sides of my seat, in case he decided to reverse and somehow crash into a tree "Oh whatever, thanks anyways for driving me"
"You're welcome, Hayls!" Alex placed a sweet kiss on my forehead, before climbing out and opening my door for me. Aw, how cute.
We were greeted at the door by Taylor, who seemed confused as to why Alex was here.
"He's just coming to watch" I explained, before we followed him down to the basement.
"HAYLEY!" Jeremy greeted me "AND ALEX TOO!"
I really appreciate how accepting the guys were of me and Alex getting back together. Well, Jeremy and Aaron were okay with it. So was Taylor but to a lesser extent. The reason why? No clue.
"Uh, hey guys. Is it okay if I watch you play?"
"Yeah, sure!" Aaron said from behind his drums "Hayley, set up your mic so we can start"
Letting go of Alex's hand, I picked up the mic stand from the corner and adjusted it to my height. Alex took a seat on the abandoned sofa Jeremy had down here. The only reason the guys can't do it is because I'm at least a whole head shorter than them. Retrieving my bright orange mic, I plugged it into the mini sound system Jeremy owned and yelled random crap into it to test it.
"PENIS!" my voice boomed loudly throughout the basement. Everyone found it hilarious, apart from Jeremy.
"Hayley, my parents are upstairs, and the basement isn't soundproof!"
